PVR (Per Vehicle Retail)

Definition

The total average gross profit generated per retail unit, combining front-end and back-end income.

Why It Matters

PVR is the most critical metric for measuring F&I department performance. Increasing PVR directly impacts dealership profitability and demonstrates the value of effective F&I management.

Examples

  • If your dealership sold 100 vehicles and generated $150,000 in F&I profit, your PVR is $1,500
  • Industry average PVR ranges from $1,200-$1,800 depending on market and product mix
